Gratitude

Opened my eyes 
Behold his glories 
Like the sounds 
Nightingales in a melancholy stray 
Resound loud as the rolling seas 

God of my weary years 
God of my silent tears 
Thou who hast by thy might 
Led me into the light 
Joy overflows in my heart 

Gratitude state of mind 
Just to be in the mood 
In spirit and truth 
Conscious only the just 
Live by faith not sight. 

Praising and worshiping you 
What i will do always for you 
Thanks be to the name 
Above all other names.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
